Models, Painting and Representation All models should be fully painted and based, WYSIWYG. We shall be particularly vigilant in this regard, because we have observed abuse on that point past year. Un unpainted model should not be played! Movement trays are compulsory. All model manufacturers are welcome as well as hand-made and scratch-build, as long as it proves to be a decent effort, accurately represents what it is supposed to be without causing confusion, is on the right base, is painted and based, and is appropriate for gameplay. Unit fillers are allowed, within common reason. If in doubt, ask the organisation. Usually the filler should adhere to 3 general guidelines: Not causing confusion, not interfering normal gameplay, and not being more than aprox. 33% of full unit size.
